Help skyward sword goes to black screen with usbloader gx!

[YorForgersPantsu]

I got skyward sword on usbloader gx and like 10 minutes in roughly, about to talk to groose on missing loftwing and the game just goes to an unresponsive black screen, or at least used to, as of writing this I tested it and it now just boots me out to the homebrew launcher. Soo please someone help lmao. The video attached was from yesterday showing the game going to a black screen

Skip the calibration video. Do not use emunand for anything.

Are you using a disc or wbfs/iso? If the latter, could be corrupted. Verify the hash in WiiBackupManager, it's under tools in top banner.

the reason I say to use a different dol, is that it should bypass the calibration segment. I think that's part of the game. the dol can be changed in game settings in usb loader gx. for example, a game like metroid prime trilogy has several dol, one for each game, which you can force the game to boot into without the game selection.

I'm using wbfs, I have twilight princess which was taken from a disc, and doesn't work it just kicks me out to the homebrew launcher, but using wii backup manager skyward sword says invalid. Should I just get a new wbfs?

My drive seemed to be corrupted as 28gb was taken despite only 7gb worth of files, I formatted it. Did the hash check on skyward sword and then transfered it to usb drive. And now I put everything back and skyward sword works perfectly for what it looks like, but twilight princess which was copied from disc now lists as "gamename" and can't be deleted. Any clue on that?

Yes.

That very same corrupted wbfs file? I would recommend redumping the game and verifying it afterwards like you did.

Does it work though? Did you dump it with usbloadergx?
Nevertheless, you should check it as well in WiiBackupmanager, and you could change the name there but i'm not sure.

Of the Wiimote? Wouldn't it affect the one in-game, when it goes out of balance? Could you still recalibrate it after doing that?

Interesting.. I'd assume you can even make a wbfs forwarder to launch one the games directly (say like M Prime) skipping the game selection screen.
